This Prosthechea cochleata var, triandra. var, triandra is the Florida variety with a more light purple lip. There are only 16 populations known to exist, now 17 lol. I checked on the gov records on which preserve this is found on and it is a completely new location. I found this on swamp ash when i went out looking for butterfly orchids, near this location i also found around 4 very large clumps of encyclia tampensis and 25 seedlings, the large ones are probably 15 plus years.
watch this facebook link which talks about the 16 th population being discovered, only 2 months old
